In particular, Rahu-Kumbha assists the development of civilization via increased economic participation of previously ostracized social classes as well as the scientific participation of previously non-paradigmatic concepts and ideas.

Rahu = co-lord of Kumbha , along with Shani

In Kumbha, the chalakaraka = motivated by a great Ambition to Make Connections.

Quest for Linkage.

Rahu-Kumbha is fascinated by esoteric and often illicit (or partly illicit)
systems roles.

To assess the prospects for
risk-rewarding Rahu's "success " in reaching a higher level of privilege than Rahu had at
risk-rewarding Rahu's station at birth, via the community-economy-networking methods of Kumbha, it is necessary to find Professor Shani and know Shani's effects in the radix and navamsha.

Rahu will amplify Shani's effects, and also the effects of any other graha occupying Kumbha.

according to Wikipedia, POTUS-26
National Parks Theodore Roosevelt conducted an African Safari in
Mar-1909 - June 1910 during his Budha-Rahu period.""All told, Roosevelt and his companions killed or trapped over 11,397 animals " Although
this scale of carnage is considered vile by today's standards of
compassion toward animals, in TR's day his adventure was celebrated
(Rahu-5 applause) as a praiseworthy contribution to science.

Rahu tends to improperly mix social categories, but this irregular
behavior may
succeed materially if Rahu is strongly placed

Pucci Prints 1914-1992Emilio Pucci famously moved from ambition to ambition. First he was fascinated to accumulate educational diplomas involving many different colleges and universities
in both the USA and Italy. This quest for status credentialing ended with a
questionable Ph.D. purportedly issued by his hometown uni in 1941 during
a time of WW-2 intense warfare during which Pucci was supposedly also
flying fighter-pilot missions. A passionate fascist, Pucci committed to military service via flying fighter planes for the fascist Italian air force, becoming involved with Mussolini's daughter. All the while he had been interested in fashion especially synthetic
sports fabrics (Rahu mixed fiber, Rahu poseur artificial). And so
began his remarkable career in fashion design which via numerous
iterations utilized the newest synthetic fabrics and dyes. Rahu generally flourishes in Kumbha, and Pucci's
Rahu-Kumbha-2 featured the remarkable psychedelic patterns of the
Aquarian Age.

Mahadasha of Rahu and most bhukti of Rahu (depending on
risk-rewarding Rahu's angle to the mahadasha pati) will exhibit the script qualities of Kumbha the Hollow Gourd.

Rahu is the co-ruler of Kumbha thus results of Rahu-Kumbha, similar to Rahu-Vrizabha, are favorable overall. Rahu-Kumbha = a community-advancement desire in which the native 's goals for personal gain = achieved in the context of collective progress.

The typical starting scene is a goal-setting social assembly or entrance into the marketplace of gains and earnings.

The Rahu experience begins with establishment of goals (according to the bhava) whichorganizes the native 's effortseither physically, psychologically, or spiritually.

An enunciation of the social art of networking is required. The environment supports every type of large group collective affiliation such as social participation movements, labor unions, and community development. The important actors typically hold rank of union organizer, elder sibling or way-shower in the marketplace, friend, and colleague of the assembly.

Community from inside, social progress from outside

the native might engage in gainfulnessbehavior driven by a sudden, obsessive attraction to an unusual type of earnings opportunity. Everyone in this Rahu-Kumbha environment is involved in economic development and expansion of opportunity for participation in distributive networks.

The systematic networking of the
personality integrity or the body might start (or seem to start) from completely external circumstances, such as developing an economic strategy for using earnings from a salary, involvement with a labor union, or setting a material achievement objective. One might start the cycle with a desire to earn more and expand one's participation in the community collective.

All for One and One for All

The longer the Rahu period, the more opportunity for dramatic development. After embarking upon quest to gain more oneself in the context of community-wide distribution of opportunity, there is continuous development of the goal-setting and material advancement through collective organizations. Labor unions and social-change rallies are featured scenes on this trajectory.

... the onset of the period of intensive goal-setting (18 yrs for the major period and varying lengths for each bhukti and pratyantardasha era) may be punctuated by shell-deaths or severe loss of vitality from nervous exhaustion .

A shell-death or abrupt separation can serve as the 'opening bell' of this mahadasha.

The initial onset of a crisis caused by over-work in quest of a gain or goal can be self-inflicted due to Rahu's restless discontent to get moving toward the higher privileges, although typically at the time of Rahu + Maraka loss of previously balanced conditions of income and community participation, the native blames the economy or 'circumstances beyond our control'.

However psychically it is the native 's ambition to catapult oneself into the higher powered realm which eradicates previous material achievement targets to make way for new objectives and a new trajectory toward the top levels of social recognition.

Rahu brings important new actors into the life scene, and these actors are typically from a different cultural background. the native is networked into the culture of the new actors, and may be asked to accept additional connections, outside the community of one's upbringing.

Although it involves a great deal of targeted effort, one needs to acquire or remember elements of the new actors worldview in order for the native to make the leap into one's next life phase.
